How will we know what we have learned? We show the understanding of our topic by all the info we have uploaded to our wiki.
Learning Experiences: Media: we have seen videos about our topic and upload them to our wiki. The videos are mostly from youtube (we puted the link of the videos of our wiki). Another way of our investigation are the websites and books. Interviews: The boys have interviewed the psycologist Amanda and Doris. The girls interviewed Ricardo Piñeda. They are both an experts. Survey: we are doing a survey to the kid from 7-12 years and this will bring us statistics for having facts about our topic. Observations/experiences: we the kids have had experiences about gossip. We live it day by day.
Resources: Videos: Audiovisual materials (youtube videos, documentaries and series) Guest Speaker/Experts: CCB psychologist(Amanda & Doris) and Ricardo Piñeda a psychologist from Bogota D.C Related literature: Magazines Computer: Web resources (blogs, websites, wiki spaces, etc.)
Action: We want to do a direct action. Speech to 2 and 5 grade (8-9, 10-11 years old). We also want to do a campaign against gossip telling to the people how bad gossip can be,making t-shirts for us that says no gossip, bracelets for the kids that we are going to do the speech and other activities. With this action we will try to do a change in people to try and gossip less, because gossip is a really bad and dangerous thing for all humans and societies.
Reflection: By doing our inquiry process we have very clear the central idea and lines of inquiry. At the beginning we had difficulties for understanding the central idea but now we understand it, so now we don’t have problems for doing the process. We had worked really well and find out many things and information we needed to know, so we are really happy with our process and group work cause we had done a good job and we had get along really well with each other.
